How to unpin timers on apple watch. Not even edit works.

All of a sudden all my timers on my iWatch have a yellow pin in them and I am unable to unpin them. Sometimes they are white but most are yellow. I went to bottom and clicked on edit but nothing is working. I followed all instructions I could find but nothing is working. Very annoying. All online instructions do not work and it appears many people have the same problem.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11

Am no expert in this area, yet your question deserves some response.


Seems in WatchOS 11 there are now 8 fixed timers (at the top) that can not be edited or deleted.

The custom timers, if any, that you can add below them can be edited, or deleted as you decide.

(You may have already read the details in Apple Support's article: Set timers on Apple Watch - Apple Support)


if something is not working as expected, if you haven't already, you could try restarting your watch:

There's a short third-party (Non-Apple) video online that shows how to remove pinned timers:

Apple Watch Support Team have a website (info. / support / contact) online:

If you are uncomfortable about accepting the recent change, you may want to send feedback to Apple: They will likely not reply, yet your feedback will reach those who can make changes, if others are also requesting them.

Web-form for feedback: Feedback - Watch - Apple


All the best :-)
